One of the greatest consolations for those who have had their
children aborted is to be able to help others avoid that tragedy.
Testimonies by the thousands continue to be gathered by pro-life
organizations and other counseling agencies who, more and more, are
dealing with the destructive effects of the violent act of abortion
as they impact the mother of the child.

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a Campaign whereby
Christians make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings
to women and men. The campaign seeks to expose and heal the secrecy
and silence surrounding the emotional and physical pain of abortion.
There are over
1,600 testimonies posted on the Campaign website.

We post here the testimonies of individuals who have asked
us to use their stories to help others. If you have a testimony,
send it to us at

"I made the decisions to become active in the pro-life movement to educate my generation and share the truth about abortion. I stand here today in the honor of my siblings. For them, I will always be silent no more." Maddie's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"Back to my normal life. In the days and months following my
abortion, I would relive that procedure ... the sounds of the suction,
the coldness of the room, the other women's vacant stares. Soon the
impact of my decision and its consequences starting to evolve. I became
depressed and both my physical and emotional pain grew." Andie's testimony at the March for Life 2015

"I
suffered for years with unrecognizable guilt, shame, and sorrow and had
a series of bad relationships. I'd get pregnant again and abort. I
felt numb." Mary Anne's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"Then I came to the realization that if I shouldn’t be killing children
in the second I became involved with the pro-life movement and that has
helped me heal and to find forgiveness. How do you make up for the
1,200 dead kids? You can’t, not without the grace of God." Dr. Anthony Levatino's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I mourn the loss of knowing you, my sister, and also the loss of
possible nieces and nephews, a lifelong friendship, and the hole that is
at every family gathering without you. Mary Margaret, you are loved and
missed." Kelli's testimony at the March for Life 2015

"This was my life. In and out of utter despair, I
struggled with failed relationships and jobs, lost homes. I lived in
crises: financial, domestic violence, abuse, alienation from my family." Karen Victoria's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"Immediately after the death of my child, I was sobbing uncontrollably.
The nurse told me I needed to stop crying, I was disturbing the others
in recovery. I hated myself and my boyfriend and I wanted to die." Delia's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I remember the doctor asking the nurse how many weeks my chart said, and
then he shook his head and proceeded with the abortion. As soon as the
machine turned on I knew this was horribly wrong but was afraid it was
too late...I felt sick – like my heart had
been ripped out through my throat." Jennifer's Testimony from the March for Life 2015

"Attending that mass with my family and surrounded by other women who
had abortions and truly regretted it has given me an even better reason to believe what I do about
abortion. I was no longer going to DC for the trip, but because I had
people at home and in my family who I had to fight for, not just my mom,
but the brother and sister I lost. " Nick's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"Dependence on drugs and alcohol and promiscuity became a way of life. I
stopped going to church. Abortion memories were triggered, while
attempting to conceive after getting married. I miscarried five babies
and thought I was being punished by God." Dale's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I want to tell all men who have participated in an abortion or had their
children aborted against their will, to let your heart out of prison
that help and healing is available. The pain of my lost fatherhood
remains with me every day but now through God's grace and mercy it and
his unforgivable love, I live with joy and peace." Chuck's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"At a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat I talked about my abortion and it shocked me
how badly it hurt. I realize now how important it is to speak about my
pain. I hope by being “Silent No
More” I will be able to truly reach a state of forgiveness for myself." Barbara's Testimony at the March for Life 2015

"I told women that their baby was a clump of tissue. I never asked them
if they wanted any other choice, if they wanted to be a parent, if they
wanted to put their baby up for adoption. We took their money. We lied
to them. We put them on a table and gave them an abortion without ever
telling them the truth about the procedure. We never told them about the
pain." Catherine's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"Within two weeks of the abortion, my world went from sunny to a grey overcast for the next 13 years...I began having suicidal thoughts and no one, including myself,
connected the dots. I started to obsess
about many things. I felt out of control."

"I remember, she said, 'You're not doing anything wrong. It's just a
sack of tissue.' I decided to believe that in my heart. I had a total of three abortions. I
suffered from post abortion syndrome. I got into a deep depression...I didn't understand why I was feeling these
emotions if I didn't do anything wrong" Patricia's testimony from the Walk for Life 2015

"I've hurt so many people because of the decision I've made. This barbaric
act is not liberating, it is not empowering, but it is absolutely
humiliating.
Good, loving, smart women are being deceived into thinking abortion is a
quick fix, and it's not a quick fix." Irene's testimony at the Walk for Life 2015

"Finally, I began to
see how the abortions had affected me. I let myself feel the incredible
grief I had for the babies who I had aborted. I saw how my relationships
with my husband and with my children were marred because I could not
let myself get close to them. I could only punish myself for what I had
done." Vicki's testimony at the Walk for Life 2015

"I have been treated for severe depression and hospitalized two times. I
used people, alcohol and food to try to fill the emptiness I felt and
to try to numb my pain." Cyndi's testimony from the Walk for Life 2015

"I attempted to continue my life as before the abortion, but I struggled
with an ever increasing sense of despair. In addition to my drug and
alcohol use, I battled bulimia almost daily. Through these addictions I
sought temporary relief from the overwhelming guilt at having taken the
life my own child." Frances's testimony from the Walk for Life 2015

"It all made sense. Why I've always wished for an older brother. That desperate feeling and
need for an older brother was because I actually had one, but he was
gone." Abril's testimony from the Walk for Life 2015
